Auf der Suche nach den Drachengräbern hatten Tib, Amon, Eye und Saphira schon Auseinandersetzungen mit untoten Priestern, kriegslüsternen Zwergen und gefährlichen Maulwurfsmonstern. Wer glaubt, damit könne sie nichts mehr schrecken, irrt, denn nun geraten sie in die Fänge ganz normaler menschlicher Gegenspieler... sofern man die vier Radolf-Brüder und ihren ebenfalls Radolf heißenden Vater als normal bezeichnen kann.

From fire and blood, the kingdom of Requiem rises. It is a home for the lost, the exiled, the hunted - those they call weredragons. In their new kingdom, they gather - men and women who can grow wings, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons.

Weredragons, men call them. Monsters. Cursed ones. People who can turn into beastly reptiles. In an ancient world just rising from darkness, they are everywhere. Everywhere their curse is the same and everywhere, they are hunted. They hide in forests and caves, dispersed. Many are alone, unaware that others exist. They are shunned, afraid, dying...until a group of these lost souls binds together and stands tall. Together they will forge a new tribe, a home for their kind. A dawn of dragon rises. The nation of Requiem is born.

Requiem. A kingdom forged in flame and blood. A kingdom for those who can grow wings, blow fire, and take to the sky as dragons. After a long war, Requiem is founded and her columns rise. Yet Requiem will never know peace so long as Raem, the cruel Demon King, still lurks in his underground realm. Forever he plagues the dragons of Requiem, sending enemies to burn their forests and topple their halls.

Responding to an advert apparently worded for him alone, Captain Mike Yates (retired) is reunited with a ghost from the past. But why has the Doctor, that mysterious traveller in Time and Space, sent for his former UNIT acquaintance? Trapped by a horde of vicious creatures in an apparently innocuous English country cottage, the two old friends are on the brink of an enormous adventure.

An observant fighter-in-training and his aged master. A paladin on a journey to light the world's darkest hour. Two bickering siblings who debate the worth of a travelling companion. An engineering prodigy pursuing his life's greatest work. A resistance leader out to stop the looming shadow of an otherworldly evil. A serial killer haunted by nightmares of his mad deeds of revenge. These stories and others intertwine in a great struggle against an all-consuming empire and its floating citadel.
